The cold temperature of the liquid will also help cool and soothe the inflamed skin. It's best to opt for skimmed milk due to its relatively high protein level.

How to apply it

Soak a cloth in the refrigerated milk and use as a cold compress against your sunburnt skin, without rubbing or causing friction.

Once the skin has been cooled and nourished by the milk, it’s essential to keep the skin moisturised without trapping in the heat.

When to see a doctor

If you are suffering from severe sunburn or are feeling unwell, the NHS advises that you contact your GP, go to your nearest NHS walk-in centre, or call NHS 111.
